Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 ounce ham, diced
- 0.25 cup green bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup yellow onion, diced
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, beat the eggs together with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced ham to the skillet, and sauté for 2 minutes until it's slightly browned.
Add the diced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and yellow onion to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed ham and vegetables, making sure to cover them evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs.
Let the omelet cook without stirring for about 3 minutes or until the edges start to set.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet to allow the uncooked eggs to flow underneath. Continue cooking until the omelet is almost set but still slightly runny on top, about 2 more minutes.
Carefully fold the omelet in half, then slide it onto a plate.
Serve immediately while hot, garnished with additional cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
